Course Offering

■ A tentative course list for each semester is available in the CJP Brochure (p.9-12) for each academic year.

■ Available courses are subject to change without prior notice.

■ To view a specific syllabus, please access our online syllabus tool using the course code. Additionally, you must select a campus--most courses are offered at the Nishinomiya Uegahara Campus, except for those provided by the School of Policy Studies, which are held at the Kobe Sanda Campus. We recommend keeping the Academic Year setting unchanged, as syllabi are typically updated late in the academic year (March 1 for Spring Semester courses and August 1 for Fall Semester courses). In most cases, referring to the syllabus for the current year is the easiest approach.
